lyrics

In a theatre gazing at better life
When the stage lights blew
I went Ghostly white
What was just in my reach,
is now a vague memory
Can you imagine that?

With a short wave signal
running thru my heart
I was holy rolling
as the ocean parted
Following a thread
that unraveled from the head
Of some American

Feel your eyes glaze over
While the moon goes black
When the wind catches fire
There’s no shadow left to cast
Now we stare in a mirror
and we laugh and laugh
Cause there is no turnin’ back

You can sharpen your teeth
on the stark absurd
Still in love with heaven
but you hate the world
Brittle brained and snide
with a tongue too tied
Fix yer heart or die

Set it all on fire just to see a flame
But now you’re bitchin’ and moanin’
cause there’s no champagne
Catch the ponies dance
in a half cracked glance of eternity

With your dearest friends you can’t confide
About the darker parts you try to hide
The chariot swings but you advert your eyes
Cause god knows
There’s no such thing as paradise

An idyllic setting on an open plane
Where the sun shines down
on your lover’s face
The universe will hiss
when you lean in for the kiss
And the house lights blow out

Feel your eyes glaze over
While the moon goes black
When the wind catches fire
There’s no shadow left to cast
Now we just stare in a mirror and we laugh
Cause there is no Turnin’ back
